Jerry, a great baby brother who grew up to be Santa. He was so like his Dad in always seeking to learn new things, loving people and caring about them, always a great host who looked out for everyone, made you feel welcome and special and almost always with a big smile. He loved the Lord, his family and his precious wife Judy.
